Always great food and great service at Mexican Fiesta. Careful with the red sauce, it's hot hot hot. Today we ordered a breakfast burrito, #3 add potatos. And a Machaca plate with flour tortillas. All very good. Oh and don't forget the agua fresca, they have Jamaica, Horchata, Tamarindo, and Piña.
I've been going here for 22 years. The family is the nicest people. Their food is consistently good. I have since moved far south and still come here when I'm craving their rolled tacos.
I absolutely love the pollo asada torta! if you are a torta afficionado like me, it's well worth your time to stop in and try this!
Great family-owned hole-in-the-wall for some budget, fast Mexican food. The lady who took my order was super sweet! I got the Al Pastor Burrito and it was so much food for the price. I'll definitely be back to try one of their daily specials.
If you like spicy and are looking for a nice kick this is the spot for you. A hidden taco shop located in Mira Mesa. Parking is easy since it's surrounded by a parking lot. Interior inside is clean and spacious. Not much seating but the food is great. There is a self serve area to grab salsa, cilantro, diced onions, and lime. I was recommended by a worker to get the Carne Asada Fries but instead of fries, I substituted for tortilla chips. Normally the cheese would be melted but I didn't mind for either. The meat isn't dry and the chips were actually crunchy and not soggy. Most taco shops I been to, the fries or chips are always soggy so I was glad this restaurant excelled my expectations. I definitely would come back here again!
Nice little hidden taco shop in Mira Mesa. Stopped by here on a Sunday afternoon, feeling to lazy to cook. LOL Parking is easy and the place was a little dark but seemed clean. We ordered at the counter and waited. We ordered: Carne Asada Torta - Very good! We ordered and drove home and I was so worried the bread would be soggy but it made it and kept dry! Stuff with carne, guac and some more veggies and it tasted very good. Very big torta! Ceviche tostada - Ceviche is a red ceviche. Not my favorite but this one tasted pretty good. One complaint is that the tostada had little ceviche on it. I like it piled high so I can finish the leftovers after the tostada shell is done. Cheese Enchiladas - Different sauce than the typical red enchilada sauce! It was like a mole/green sauce mix and tasted very good! It was sweet and spicy and not expected. The enchiladas were a little bare of cheese but overall not bad. Pollo Asado and Carnitas tacos. Pretty good. Nothing great or bad about them. Lots of meat and guac. If I am in the area, I may come back to try a few other items.
Spacious parking lot with no line on a lunch weekend. A mom and pop shop with authentic Mexican food. Overall great food with a caveat that they don't provide water. Food (7.5/10): Carne asada fries - I'd say above average compared to other places in the area. A great dish to share amongst a group of 4-5. Carne asada and bean tostada - pretty good. A great balance of flavors and textures with a nice crunch. Carne asada taco - was not expecting such a large size. Probably the size of 2-3 tacos at other places. Value (7.5/10): The portions here are larger than average for the tacos. From what I've seen the burritos are standard size. I'd say the value is slightly above average. Ambience (6.5/10): Very standard tables and chairs like any other Mexican spot. Low key and not very lively or noisy. A very very casual dine in spot.
